Zhu Gaochi stepped aside, showing his grandeur,
Seeing Zhu Gaochi's appearance, Fu Youde and Tang He, who had never seen Zhu Gaochi before, exchanged glances.
This Prince Yan should not be underestimated!
The third child nodded with satisfaction, not hiding the appreciation in his eyes, as if Zhu Gaochi was his own son.
In fact, the third child put much more effort into Zhu Gaochi than his biological father Zhu Di.
Zhu Laosi is ready to use, but Zhu Laosan knows that talents must be cultivated slowly.
For this alone, Zhu Lao San is much better than Zhu Lao Si.
The third child looked at Fu Youde,
friendly way,
"General Fu, please speak first."
When Fu Youde saw the look in His Royal Highness Prince Jin's eyes, he didn't refuse much and looked at Zhu Xiongying.
He opened his mouth and said,
"Your Highness, based on what I have seen and heard in Yandi during this time, there is no need to worry about too much loss in the transportation of grain and grass. It is absolutely no problem to save five out of ten."
Crossing a huge grassland, the terrain is extremely uneven, and half of the food and grass can be saved? !
If the person speaking was not the senior general Fu Youde, everyone would just think he was talking crazy words.
Now the old general Tang He followed Fu Youde's thinking,
Doubtfully said,
"General Fu, are you talking about food and grass?"
Fu Youde smiled and didn't show off.
Said directly,
“I’m talking about food and grass.
Your Highness's holy virtue has allowed the generals of the three armies to have meat to eat at all times. General Mo will see that the dried meat and milk cubes from Yandi are far easier to transport than ordinary grain and grass.
Why not replace all the food and grass with dried meat and milk cubes? "
Zhang Yu frowned slightly and said,
"General Fu, dried meat and milk blocks are easy to transport, but they are also necessary food for herdsmen to spend the winter. These herdsmen treasure them very much.
It is still possible to replace part of the grain and grass with dried meat and milk cubes, but it is absolutely impossible to replace all the grain and grass with dried meat and milk cubes.
Even if I beat these herdsmen to death, I won’t change them. "
Zhang Yu is mainly responsible for the integration of agriculture and animal husbandry in Yandi, so he knows the temperament of the herdsmen very well. The herdsmen are generous, but they are not fools.
If the government takes away all the dried meat and milk cubes that the herdsmen use for the winter, what will people eat during the winter? Seeing that the integration of agriculture and animal husbandry has developed to a new stage, isn't this forcing these herdsmen to rebel?
Zhu Di opened his mouth and seemed to understand something.
But his current persona is that of a transparent person, so he still didn’t say much.
Fu Youde looked at Zhang Yu with a smile,
said,
"General Zhang, it's totally okay.
Can't we just exchange the easily consumed food for the herdsmen? No matter how much extra tea leaves are supplied to them, the herdsmen will definitely replace it. "
Zhang Yu hesitated after hearing this.
Fu Youde's method seems simple, but... it seems to be really effective!
In fact, after the herdsmen moved to Yandi, they did not rely on dried meat and milk cubes to survive the winter. Take milk cubes as an example. They just drank fresh cow and goat milk.
The herdsmen hoard dried meat and milk blocks like little hamsters, which is completely due to inertia. Some even winter passed without eating much of the food they hoarded.
There is no shortage of food in Yan land.
In the Ming Dynasty, grain and grass from various places had to be handed over to the capital, but border areas had the privilege of urgent transportation.
That is to say, at critical moments, the King of Sai has the authority to directly adjust grains to surrounding state capitals, and the transferred state capitals must not refuse.
The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty had no power, but the power of King Sai was very great.
Coupled with the simultaneous development of military, civilian and commercial villages in the border areas, this can cope with the perennial wars.
Fu Youde's meaning is very clear. Herders do not have to stock up on dried meat and milk cubes. They are just accustomed to this action. It doesn't matter what they actually stock up on. So let's let them stock up on grain.
The food is not good, and it is not easy to cook. Compared with the potatoes, dried meat, and milk cubes that accompany the army, they are far behind.
Just by exchanging with herdsmen and changing the structure of grain and grass transportation, the survival rate of grain and grass transported along the way can be greatly increased.
Qiu Fu said,
"General Fu's method seems to be feasible. If we add subsidized tea, every herdsman should be willing to switch."
The two Yan generals, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, also nodded.
Tea is an irreplaceable hard currency for herdsmen.
During the previous wars, the border trade between the Central Plains and the grasslands was called the Tea-Horse Trade.
The name says it all.
The central plains are exchanged for horses, and the grasslands are exchanged for tea.
The grasslands do not produce tea, but herdsmen are still very dependent on tea. They have to use tea to make milk tea, and drinking tea is no different from drinking coffee in Europe. It can make people excited, and if you drink it for a long time, you will feel dependent. .
For herdsmen, dried meat and milk cubes are indeed precious, but compared with tea, they are completely worthless.
They can reproduce dried meat and milk cubes themselves, but they cannot grow tea leaves.
But from the perspective of the Yan Palace, there is no shortage of tea, just like food.
There is no doubt that the appeal of tea to herdsmen is absolutely irresistible.
Exchanging my wealth for what I lack, I only need to exchange it in Yandi, so that the transported grain can be retained to a large extent. What a brilliant idea!
The generals in Yan looked at Fu Youde with admiration.
How could the world-famous Fu Youde, who was famous all over the world, not have two brushes?
Compared with the Yan generals who had been engaged in the integration of agriculture and animal husbandry in Yandi for five years, it was obvious that Fu Youde, who had only been here for less than half a month, found the key immediately.
This method is easy to say, just change it.
But it’s definitely not easy to figure it out.
Thoughts are important, but flexible thinking is even more important.
Just like Tathagata Buddha kept Sun Wukong under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years. What if Sun Wukong still refuses to obey after he comes out?
After five hundred years of pressure, the monkey has adapted.
Very simple,
Change your thinking,
In the past, when I pushed the monkey, I kept my head outside the Wuzhi Mountain. If I push you again this time, I will push the monkey's butt outside the Wuzhishan.
Once this method comes out, see if Sun Dasheng is afraid.
It was nothing more than changing Sun Dasheng's direction under Wuzhishan and taking complete initiative.
So, whatever you do, your ideas must be lively.
Tang He laughed and said,
"Old Fu, you really have some tricks up your sleeve!"
Zhu Xiongying nodded with satisfaction.
All the cards under my command are top-match cards, so I just have to nod my head.
Tang He looked at Zhu Xiongying again,
said excitedly,
"His Royal Highness Shengsun, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies is now available. As long as the troops are sent out, they will definitely perform meritorious service for Your Highness like a hungry tiger pounces on food!"
Lao Tang's face turned red with excitement. He had fought for the Ming Dynasty all his life, but he had never seen such energetic soldiers.
Not to mention His Highness's personal soldiers from each battalion, just the ordinary soldiers from Yandi were full of fighting spirit.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were well-fed and well-paid. What they ate was not just porridge and pickles, but Yandi KFC. How could they not be full of fighting spirit?
If the weather hadn't been too cold, they would have had to go to the Leaning Tower of Pisa with seven in and seven out.
With such soldiers under his command, coupled with top-matching generals, it can be said that Lao Tang is full of confidence this time and is working hard to achieve success.
